Migrate the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development database

To migrate the development database from WebSphere Commerce Version 8 to WebSphere Commerce Version 9, we must first prepare the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development database and the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment. Then, run the migration utility to migrate the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development database.

Procedure

1. Preparing to migrate development database.
   Prepare to migrate the development database by backing up the WebSphere Commerce version 8.0 development database, then restore the database backup to the WebSphere Commerce Version 9.0.0.1+ development environment. Next, point the WebSphere Commerce Version 9.0.0.1+ development environment to the restored database backup.

2. Migrate the development database.
   By now, you configured your version 9.0 development environment to use your version 8.0 development database. Migrate this version 8.0 database to the WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 9.0 level by running the migration check and migration utility through command line.
